Playing With Light
Light is an invisible thread, weaving through our spaces, shaping mood and aesthetics. Holding the power to gently command the atmosphere with a profound effect, light can accentuate textures and guide the eye. Lighting design is an integral layer in our narrative-led interiors.
Playful lighting invites interaction. In every project, we explore its ability to shift perception.
The House of KOKO where Venetian blinds sculpt the daylight and cast contrasting linear sunlight accents within the intimate record booths.
Within Mimi Kakushi, light is pivotal – it creates an atmosphere rhythm to support the narrative. Warm amber hues pour through full-height stained-glass windows. The evening sun streams through a bespoke curtain of wooden beads, casting dancing patterns onto mirrored tables, creating a play of light and shadow.
We design experiential spaces where every element of a guest’s journey is considered and curated to create a sense of immersion and belonging. Light guides their senses and behaviours, shaping the perception of each design detail while layering the narrative within the space.

Flattering light enhances the comfort of guests – ensuring every person looks and feels their best. Playing with light has become a hallmark of our spaces. We design and craft bespoke lamps and lights to achieve our obsession with creating the perfect lighting.
When a space feels good, people linger. In hospitality, it’s called dwell time. We simply see it as creating places where people want to be.
Light sets the mood. Whether igniting energy or creating intimacy, every nuance is intentional. Layered lighting softens angles, casting a warm glow. Shadows are diffused, features soften, skin tones are enriched. We create spaces to dance, dine, relax or perhaps read. Lighting is at the heart of these experiences.
The outdoor spaces of Ninive are adorned with multiple lanterns that shape the atmosphere, spreading warmth. Suspended pendants play with colour, much like Mimi Kakushi’s stained glass, casting reflections on mirrors and gloss surfaces.
On the ground, lanterns carve a pathway, guiding the flow of guests with a quiet rhythm. A bouquet of lamps marks an entrance – a place to pause.
Within KOKO, the copper dome glows with layers of light at varying heights. Here, the journey slows. A final moment to linger, to sip a perfectly mixed nightcap, as the evening fades into the early hours.
